The problem with that is, what is "needed" is subjective. Every person here has a different opinion of what they need/want and you can't list them all. As it was, your list didn't have several characters that I know I wanted, like Melaktha, Delora, Melog, etc. So it's best to just keep it to what is trademarked. If people don't see their character then it automatically is needed and they don't need to look any further.

Fair enough , You have a good point that everyone's idea of who should be coming out is different, i will revamp the list to reflect that, although i will keep certain characters that are reported shoe ins from the the fan choice voting thread that we had that put Geldor in our Nov 2013 slot, as Mattel has pretty much confirmed these characters. That thread can be found here to verify what I'm saying. http://www.he-man.org/news_article.php?id=2252

**Edited for Accuracry, Looks like no new mutants for a while, but GG has some potentials**
So the way the list works is that under each faction i listed all the trademarks exist for that faction, then underneath the ones that are needed, and finally, if applicable, characters from each faction that are highly likely of having characters made based on the Fan Choice Poll we had last year http://www.he-man.org/news_article.php?id=2252 . If a character doesn't appear in any one of these categories, then until further information providing us with concrete evidence or a trademark, they will remain off of it.

Note: I pulled out Wind Raider Pilot and Songster, due to the public outcry for non concept characters to be put on the back burner, but it should be noted that Songster had is trademark due to the fact that he was in the running for the Fan Choice award

This list should hopefully make things a little easier to understand in the future

Hey Bcrduke, do you think we would see Flutterina before..say...Castaspella or Glimmer? I know that Scott has mentioned Flutterina a few times before, but more so as to say, would you rather (list most wanted character here), instead of Flutterina, things like that. I personally would LOVE to have Flutterina as she is one of my most wanted POP ladies and think the 4H would do an amazing job on her.

I want more of the unique looking characters like her, Mermista, Sweetbee, and Peekablue. I of course want Castaspella and Glimmer, but if Mattel keeps a majority of the heavy hitters for the 14 Sub, they will definitly get the minimum required to go forward with the sub.

@Facet
Then by that logic Strongarm needs to be removed, as it's owned by Nerf

Strongarm is on the list cause he was on the "Obvious list that He-man.org got from Mattel, Although he might not be called Strongarm in the end, I leave his name on there so everyone knows who we are talking about.

Was Flutterina even trademarked? I know the other ladies have been.

I think we will see Castaspella and Glimmer before Flutterina.

I think Scott mentioning Flutterina is based solely on the fact that her name is easy to remember, and he wants to sound like he "knows" pop.

I have zero faith in us getting all the pop characters at this point.

What Scott likes has been given priority. Fortunately the polls here and on the Matty forums have given evidence that the pop characters actually DO have a lot of support among the customer base.

I share the same fear as you. I don't think we'll be seeing characters like Flutterina, Perfuma, or Double Trouble. I personally could do without DT, but the other girls who were part of the cartoon series is a must. AND I hope they don't group characters like Entrapta as POP when she really is a Horde Member.

Well, only time will tell. By chance, did Scott mention how many POP characters we would be getting in 2013, I always forget this, but I'm sure this was mentioned. I know Netossa counts, so is there another one or two? If there is only one other POP character, it will most likely be Glimmer or Castaspella.

He said at least two vintage POP characters for 2013 which means after Netossa at least one more since Octavia is FILMATION POP and an official Horde member.

I would be heart broken if that character would be Kowl as i wish for some of the female characters but he is trademarked already...

Ouch on so many levels.

I'll continue to hope for Glimmer, Angela, Castaspella, and Mermista at least. Peekablue seems like she has a decent chance though because Netossa is basically her with a different head and no feathers. I admit I really don't care about Kowl or Loo-Kee until I know we're getting that first four at least. Geesh, I feel like we're trying to guess the seating chart of the lifeboats on the Titanic.

Instant depressing from reading that analogy of MOTUC and it really sinking in.

@ my pun.

Take part in Illumina Day! Let people know who she is and help get her in MOTUC.

With the success of Monster High, perhaps Mattel might finally be willing to explore a similar path for Princess Of Power and create a new line of dolls in time for the 30th anniversary.
Or maybe it's just being trademarked for use in the bios.
Or- would Mattel need to file a trademark for Crystal Castle if another company like Icon Heroes were to do a statue of it?
